I was pulling some parts for an order (yep, we still do not have a warehouse guy), and my co-worker Gary was at the computer. I started for the table and saw a small little face peek around the corner under the table.
"Guys, WTF? There's a KITTEN!"
Gary was like, "What?" He turned to me. "What are you talking about?"
"There's a kitten under the table!"
We do not know when he got in. But he's here now. We have fed him some tuna and made a little place for him to sleep. We think, if he sticks around, he could be a warehouse cat.
Boy, was he hungry!
He's been a bit skittish, but today he did venture out and seems to be getting more used to us. We'll see. He's cute as hell and so tiny.
Now, if I can just figure out how to teach him to pack some boxes we might be onto something.
I keep calling it a "he," but we have no idea if it is a boy or a girl yet, and I am not sure we want to get close enough to find out...
I am the only guy so far to not have gotten bit. 
Right now we have named him Butch. Inside joke. Butch was the name of another co-worker who recently was promoted and transferred to the Arizona branch to run it.

@porwest — are his eyes really that color, or is that a camera thing?

He's become quite the attraction in the office. Three grown men and we are fawning over this little guy like a bunch of slobbering fools. lol. We took him to the vet today because we thought he might be sick and it turns out he has a little bit of an infection. So, they are keeping him overnight and trying to fix him up. I think he found the right place to get lost in.

If you could teach that little creature to pack that means you will have an R.O.I for that little cat's food and shelter. Lolz!

Where did the kitten come from? And are his eyes really those colors? One looks green and the other looks blue.

@porwest I thought flash makes the eyes look yellow.

@lovebuglena I think it depends on the color of the eyes. Not sure.

@Nakitakona They cycle of life, as they say. It's not always pleasant.

@porwest well as the phrase itself tells that it has ups and downs.

That's an adorable kitten. With care it will grow into a very beautiful cat.

If you fed him, he'll likely stick around. Looks like you have a new foreman to oversee the work. Butch is a good name for him. I'm glad you haven't been bitten yet.
